[QUOTE="SRHeer, post: 1259262, member: 61077"] OK - thanks - I think I understood where the 6.5x300 Weatherbys use a 1/9 inch twist rate in their barrels but I think for the 140 or 160 gr bullets one best use a 1/8 twist rate - I have not been able to verify Weatherby's 6.5x300 twist rate - went to the Weathrby rifle site and could not find info - why wouldn't they inform? so will still search - also since they were saying how well rifle with the 127 grn bullets at over 3500fps perform - I am thinking yes more than likely that they do have the 1/9 twist rate which kinda puts a damper on setting sights on buying one.
